Does Hakeem Olajuwon Have a Case for Greatest Center of All Time?
I'd say yes. His game alone puts him in the top 3 centers ever — maybe even #1. Plus, he might have the greatest playoff run in NBA history. In 1994, Hakeem won all of this in the same season: MVP Finals MVP DPOY NBA Championship All-NBA First Team NBA All-Defensive First Team NBA All-Star He also finished 3rd in scoring (27.3 PPG) behind Shaq (29.3) and David Robinson (29.8). And the very next year, he swept Shaq & Penny’s Orlando Magic 4-0 in the Finals. He is one of the best two-way players ever — elite offense, elite defense. Where does Hakeem rank on your all-time center list? #NBA #HakeemOlajuwon #GOATDebate #NBALegends #MyNBAGOAT #BasketballHistory #NBATalk #Sports

He's Top 5 for sure , but not #1. Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Dream, Moses. Debatable, but this is a pretty firm 5 for me... the order can change though depending on the day !?

Olajuwan fan here and I couldn't agree more with discussion of him being the greatest NBA Center ever. I'll say this. Up until the 21st-Century, Olajuwan was the best foreign player. He earned EVERYONE'S RESPECT. That 94-95 stretch was some of the best play ▶️ I ever saw 👀 in a Center. 30 years later, it's still a hot topic in the B-Ball world 🌎. This report proves that.

nope. Chamberlain, Kareem, Bill and Hakeem in that order. He's 4th best all time.

He’s probably 2nd , Chamberlain was the only player who could athletically compare to Olajuwon. As an all-around player, Chamberlain and A healthy Sabonis are comparable. Physically Shaq., is incomparable.

Hakeem Olajuwon is the all-time leader in blocks & he was in the top 10 for steals as a center! Hakeem is the only player in NBA history with 200 + steals & 200+ blocks in a season & t
he is the only player in NBA history with 3000+ blocks & 2000+ steals in career.
